Hey fellow runners 😊

Well, it was spotting with rain when I began my five minute brisk walk, but the temperature was just right and I was looking forward to my run.

Much the same as previous runs, a little out of puff and legs tiring, but I made it and did the 30 minutes. It's amazing how we achieve it, but we do. I was so pleased that I didn't give up or tire completely.

My 3rd and final run will be the park run on Saturday morning. I'm a little nervous to be honest, but I'm going to do it. I've had some fab advice in preparation from lovely folk on here, so thank you all so much πŸ€—πŸ€—

I've aadded a before and after pic of this evening, just to bore you again, haha, you'll be having scary nightmares before long, unless you are already πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Also added a new recording from Relive which shows your exercise routes. It's very clever and I used it online with Strava. Hope the link works πŸ˜…

If it doesn't, just copy and paste it, should you wish to view it. I'm. Messaging from my mobile, so unsure if it allows links to be uploaded.

Ooh Oldfloss, thank you for the confidence vote and inspiration, it means so much. Out of all my tops, I can see me wearing a plain black running top, haha, always the same when there's more than a few to choose from, lol πŸ˜‚
